Karaoke Pink Houses (Ain’t that America) John Mellencamp

There's a black man with a black cat livin' in a black neighborhood

He's got an interstate runnin' through his front yard

You know he thinks he's got it so good

And there's a woman in the kitchen cleanin' up the evenin' slop

And he looks at her and he says hey darlin'

I can remember when you could stop a clock

Oh but ain't that America for you and me

Ain't that America somethin' to see baby

Ain't that America home of the free, yeah

Little pink houses for you and me

Oh oh yeah for you and me oh

Well there's a young man in a T-shirt listenin' to a rock 'n' rollin' station

He's got a greasy hair and greasy smile

He says Lord this must be my destination

'Cos they told me when I was younger

Say boy you're gonna be president

But just like everything else those old crazy dreams just kinda came and went

Oh but ain't that America for you and me

Ain't that America somethin' to see baby

Ain't that America home of the free, yeah

Little pink houses for you and me

Oh

Little baby for you and me

Well there's people and more people what do they know know know

Go to work in some high rise and vacation down at the

Gulf of Mexico ooh yeah

And there's winners and there's losers but they ain't no big deal

'Cos the simple man baby pays for the thrills the bills the pills that kill

Oh, but ain't that America for you and me

Ain't that America somethin' to see baby

Ain't that America home of the free, yeah

Little pink houses for you and me

Ooh

Ooh yeah

Ain't that America for you and me

Ain't that America

Hey there's somethin' to see baby

Oh the home of the free yeah yeah yeah yeah

Little pink houses there for you and me

Ooh yeah

Ooh yeah
